Emulate a Device doesn't like nulls

Anyone else notice that Emulate a Device doesn't like nulls ($00) in a string expression?

Message(s) to Send: "$00"
Line 45 (11:33:54):: Incoming buffer: "$24,$30,$30" aka '$00', not exactly what I meant

Message(s) to Send: "$01"
Line 45 (11:34:09):: Incoming buffer: "$01"

I just rewrote a perfectly good module because it wasn't working for channel 1 ($00 in this protocol) when I tested via Emulate, only to find out that my version of the module has the same problem! If AMX isn't going to give us more testing/debugging tools, they should at least make sure the ones we have actually work. AUGH!

    The new version of NS fixed this issue.

    He may be referring to the 2.8 beta, which I suspect will be wrapping up shortly.

    I believe there is a 2.8 version being beta tested. Not sure if it has been released yet tho :)
